I save spiritual roots for the next life.

Chapter 173

Since the development of the business alliance, it is no longer a small fight.

They have long looked down on the simple model of setting up their own shops in the major sects of Qi.

What they are doing now is the commercial integration of the entire Yan Kingdom.

Focus on monopolizing resources, controlling sales, and leading finance.

In the entire Xiancheng, there are only a few shops of the Merchant Alliance, which only operate high-end business and finance, and the rest of the shops are leased out, with guaranteed rent and turnover commission as the main income.

This model allows the shops to be responsible for their own profits and losses, and the business alliance can make a steady profit without losing money, and the healthy competition among the major shops will greatly enhance the commercial atmosphere and popularity of the entire fairy city, and further strengthen the monopoly position of the business alliance.

The business alliance's requirement for monks' long-term rental is also to provide sufficient employees for merchants in Xiancheng in disguise.

Li Jizhou asked about the conditions for joining the Merchant Alliance. They must have a combat strength above the middle stage of alchemy, or have a skill above the third level. Other than that, they are all junior positions, and they must wait for orders from their superiors at twelve o'clock.

Naturally, Li Jizhou would not like this model.

As for finding the sect and family, Li Jizhou gave up without even thinking about it.

Based on the incident of Jin Yangzong, Li Jizhou has almost understood some routines of the business alliance.

Maybe at some point it will be designed by the business alliance and involved in some conspiracy that has to buy a certain high-priced treasure that the business alliance needs to sell.

think for a moment,

Li Jizhou finally decided to open his own shop. Opening a shop by himself is at least more profitable than supplying him in Miaodan Building, and the business environment of Yan Country is indeed more suitable.

During this period of time, I have been shopping around in the fairy city, and the price of resources above the third level is appalling. I don't have enough financial resources, and the road after forming an alchemy is not easy.

Previously in Qi State, materials above Tier [-] were almost impossible to buy, and sometimes they needed to be exchanged for equivalent materials, so Li Jizhou was not too obsessed with earning spirit stones at that time.

But in Yan Country, the materials of the fourth level can be purchased with spirit stones.

In the end, Li Jizhou made a slight change to the main goal of coming to Yan Kingdom. In addition to congealing golden pills and improving skills, he added the item of opening a shop to earn spirit stones.

After going through some relevant procedures, the guards of Xiancheng City checked Li Jizhou's identity with a strange treasure in hand.

A one-time payment of [-] Lingshi as a deposit, and a sincere cooperation contract was signed, and it was agreed that every year’s revenue would become a tax. If the annual tax is less than [-] Lingshi, the deposit will be deducted.
Failure to meet the standards for three consecutive years will result in disqualification from doing business.

However, the store was first established without endorsement, and mainly sold low-end products, so the location of the leased store could not be in the central area, at most it could only be in the inner city area, and its spirit veins were equivalent to the third-order low-grade goods.

For this, Li Jizhou can also accept it. Anyway, when forming alchemy, he only needs to rent an alchemy dojo in the central area for a short period of time.

And if you don't have a business alliance status, you are not eligible to rent the alchemy dojo.

Five days later, Li Jizhou finally got the Jade Talisman of the Merchant Alliance, and successfully took over a house located in the inner city of Liuyun Immortal City.

The house is close to the market, and in front of it is a three-story attic facing the street, with three rooms on each floor, which are shops.

The backyard is a courtyard with three entrances, with small bridges and flowing water inside, and the pavilions and pavilions look quiet and elegant.

There are three large characters hanging on the signboard of the store: Taobao Pavilion, written by Li Jizhou himself.

The Jade Talisman of the Business Alliance marks Taobao Pavilion as a fifth-class store, which can accommodate up to five shop assistants.

After sending off the manager of the business alliance, Li Jizhou put up a sign on the door that he was ready for employment and opened in a month, and then closed the door of the shop.

Arrange the magic circle, activate the talisman seal, and after some arrangement, the quack and Bai Yi are released.

"You two, we have to work harder in the future!" Li Jizhou hugged Guagua and Bai Yi very sincerely.

If it weren't for Bai Yi's current four-point real popularity, he would not open the shop.

Especially at the beginning of starting a business, it is inevitable that you need to do it yourself, which delays your practice too much.

If he alone makes puppets, draws talismans, refines alchemy, and forms formations, and spends a year exhaustingly, excluding taxes and material costs, it is estimated that the profit will be several thousand, which is not worth the candle.

After years of training, Bai Yi is already very proficient in the first-level intermediate elixirs, and the advanced ones are a bit reluctant, but this is enough, and the main one is large.

The four real fires are started at the same time, each with a puppet, [-] hours a day without interruption, with a monthly production capacity of over [-], and a profit of about [-] or [-], which can meet taxes and support the store.

Guagua is now a third-rank monster with a strong sense of consciousness and innate magical powers of illusion. Li Jizhou decided to cultivate it vigorously, and try his best to let it be able to study the formations thoroughly. At that time, he can use his illusion talent to create an illusion chessboard formation. It will get twice the result with half the effort.

These are the guarantees at the beginning of starting a business.

As for how to make it bigger and stronger in the future, Li Jizhou will think about it after he is ready to form an alchemy.

Now let's take a step by step and make steady progress, and first gain a foothold in the country of Yan.

Before I have a real insight into the situation of Yan Kingdom, and I haven't fully integrated into it, I still want to reach the sky in one step, which is still a bit too ambitious.

A few days later, Li Jizhou arranged the backyard properly.

The first yard is used as a landscape area, where some flowers and plants are planted. Li Jizhou mainly lives in the second yard, and the third yard is used as the work area for Bai Yi and Guagua.

In the following days, apart from practicing, Li Jizhou devoted almost all his time to the training of Bai Yi and Gua Gua.

Bai Yi is fine, although his IQ is not very high, but after so many years of habitual alchemy, he has quickly become proficient in the new first-level intermediate alchemy recipes that Li Jizhou gave him, and each of the four real fires refined one.

Although Quack is a bit smart, he doesn't know anything about formations, so it's a bit difficult to teach him. If Li Jizhou wasn't for his peace of mind, he probably would have exploded long ago.

Until the day before the end of the month, Bai Yi had already refined four kinds of first-tier mid-stage elixirs of [-] bottles each, among which there were very few high-quality pills, and a large number of high-grade and middle-grade pills, which could be regarded as a perfect completion of the task.

Li Jizhou was very satisfied with this.

And Guagua hasn't finished reading [-]% of the content of the inheritance of the first-order formation in a month.

It was also on this day that the recruitment notice posted a week ago attracted a fourth interviewer.

The first three interviewees were all rejected by Li Jizhou.

He mainly recruits a shopkeeper in name, who is actually just an employee who entertains and sells goods.
As for being able to speak well, that's secondary, the main thing is sincerity.

And when the first three opened their mouths, there was an old-fashioned smell, too obsessed with cleverness, full of routines, and the monthly routine was even higher.

"Senior, I saw your recruitment notice, so let's take a look."

This time, a female cultivator in her 20s came here, practicing Qi at the sixth level.

Quiet and delicate, although the words are soft, but the eyes are firmer.

I asked a few words casually,

The identity of the other party is relatively innocent. He is a child born and raised in Xiancheng. His father used to work in a mining area directly under the Merchant Alliance, and died in the mine a few years ago.

She and her mother were both working as receptionists in the same alchemy workshop before, but her mother died accidentally when she attacked the foundation building some time ago.

She doesn't want to see things and think about others, so she wants to change her working environment.

Li Jizhou is quite satisfied with this woman, she has no worries and has work experience.

In the end, Li Jizhou signed a contract with him at the price of forty spirit stones per month, and gave him a Taobao Pavilion identity jade charm issued to him by the business alliance.

It is agreed that the door will be opened at Chenshi every day and dismissed at Youshi.

Responsible for the reception, sales, and tidiness of the store, and no one is allowed to enter the inner courtyard or ask nonsense.

Everything is ready,
On the second day, Taobao Pavilion officially opened for business.

The goods in the store cover a wide range.

The elixir ranges from the first intermediate level to the second level advanced level, and the number is also the largest. The second-level high-quality broken-level elixir and the high-quality Zhuyan elixir are more eye-catching.

The puppets are all Tier [-] puppets, and two of them are quasi-Tier [-] puppets that are fused with demon pills.

There are first-order and second-order talisman seals, and there are a lot of high-quality goods.

In addition, there are several chessboard magic circles, magic tools, and magic weapons.
